Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents:
March 24
12:44 a.m. A number of officers gave chase after car driving 97 mph passed them. Officers lost the dark colored Mustang on side streets.
An officer parked on Miller Road, near Bainbridge Gardens, clocked a driver doing 97 in a 30 mile per hour zone. The officer couldn’t get a description as it passed too quickly.
The officer turned around and attempted to give chase, but lost the vehicle. Another officer spotted the car traveling on Miller Road toward Day Road. He saw the car run a red light at SR-305, and then run the stop sign at Day Road and Madison Avenue. It then turned left onto Sunrise Drive heading north. The officer lost sight of vehicle on Sunrise Drive.
Officers posted up around the area. After some time, the officers thought the driver left his vehicle or eluded them so the search was called off.
March 25
12:53 p.m. A resident reported three domed tents, worth a total of $180, stolen from the open carport at his apartment complex.
There are carports on the backside of each apartment and below them. They have storage shelves, but the ports are open and have no doors.
The man told police he noticed that day he was missing three tents from the shelves. Last time he knew they were there was March 20 when he arrived hime from work. He just glanced at the shelves and saw that they were missing.
Two of the tents were his and one belonged to a friend. He didn’t remember brand names but they were inexpensive type and could be bought at a Kmart or a similar store. All were three-man dome tents.
Police have no suspects and theorize that the tents were most likely stolen by homeless people.
March 27
12:46 a.m. An apartment resident called to report neighbors arguing.
She claimed she could hear her neighbors from across the hall arguing. She thought she heard the female say “you pushed me down.”
When police arrived, the reporting party’s neighbor told them she knew the man for many years and they had been dating for about a year. They moved into the apartment two weeks ago and still had unpacked boxes.
The two of them had been drinking and got into an argument about finances. She said its been hard for him to find work.
She was adamant that nothing physical occurred during the argument. She said there was yelling and the man moved things around but nothing physical and no threats.
Officers determined there was nothing physical going on, but it would be good for them to be separated for the night. The woman agreed to stay with her daughter who lives in the same complex.
The reporting party continued to say she heard “you pushed me down” but the woman again denied that the man touched her.
March 28
6:08 p.m. After leaving work, a resident discovered that someone slashed her car’s tires. The woman got off work at 12:45 a.m. the night before. While on her way home she noticied that both the front and back passenger side tires had gone flat.
She pulled into the Chevron parking lot and had her husband come get her. When the tow truck came, it was discovered that sidewall of the tires had been slashed. The damage was estimated at $200.
She suspected an angry customer who had been kicked out of the bar where she worked had caused the damage but she had no proof.
Police contacted the man, who denied slashing the cars tires. He was reminded not to go back to the bar as they employees didn’t want him there anymore. He said he woudnt go anymore.
The police have no suspects.
